After the success of our Sexy Susie Homemaker workshop, we decided to spice things up with our Vintage Vixen workshop. This workshop was hot, hot, hot(seriously, I can't say that enough)! Our girls traded in their swing dresses for corsets and sky high heels. We also provided them with a sexy fun set of props to play with. Riding crops, whips, and chains, oh my!
Happy Smiles is ready to put a smile on your face.
Scarlette Saintclair once again graced us with her presence and gave our models perfect victory rolls and some seriously amazing pose coaching. Her advice and tips really helped us get the best shot! Scarlette also brought along a lot of clothing for the girls to try on and play with! They were able to mix and match with what they brought from home to create a look that was one of a kind. Lindsay with Curly Girl Makeup also returned and did an absolutely fantastic job on our Vintage Vixen makeup. Their contributions, along with that perfect camera angle, ensured that we could get those sexy photo sets that we could all be proud of. And we did! And it was fabulous.
Melissa Leanne has been a big naughty. Lola Von Lita will remedy that.
Since this workshop was held in October, we decided to do a shot for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The girls were very excited to be able to show their support and help to raise awareness so that hopefully one day we can eradicate this horrible disease.
And of course, what would a workshop be without some behind the scenes pictures! This is where the magic happens, and there's a lot of it. All of the work that goes into these workshops really pays off in the end. And we have fun doing it!
Scarlette working with our girls so we can get the perfect shot.

My sweet loving father lived in Somis Living for the last four months of his life. I (along with my mother, two sisters and brother) are so incredibly grateful to have found this Board & Care for my father. I cannot imagine him anywhere else at all during this time period. I had a previous experience with my mother-in-law four years ago in a different Board & Care in Camarillo. Prior to taking my dad to Somis Living, I had visited about a dozen other Board & Cares. Some were very nice, some were ok and some were not. After visiting SL with my sister and mother, we knew that this was the place for my dad. The actual big home, the smaller home, the beautiful grounds, the farm animals, the open space, the secure grounds and rooms, the warm and caring attitude that was present was difficult to duplicate.
Jocelyn and Lillian give it their all to be as accommodating as possible not only to the Resident but to the entire family. They made this
extremely difficult day as easy as possible. I will be forever
grateful to them. Thank you ever so much! My entire family and I will
never forget you.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.

Reasons To Develop Your Technical Skills
The most obvious reason is, it is not the cave ages anymore! Thus, unless you want to be treated as an invalid in the society, you must learn your tech skills. It is not a matter of being accepted into the society or to conform to the rest of the crowd, but to ensure that you are up-to-date with the current developments. Below are some more reasons as to why you should invest time and money in acquiring these skills.
It Saves Time
Taking your computer to a repair store for a simple a break down is a waste of time. If you have the right tools and necessary knowledge, it is actually quite a simple process. Though solving technical problems might look complex and confusing in the beginning, with time and practice, you will be able to talented just as much as the next guy. Also, remember that the time you are investing will save you a lot time in the long term.
It Saves Money
This is does not just mean that you do not have to pay the repair guy, but rather, you can be the repair guy yourself. If you have the required qualifications and skill, you can create your own group of amateur IT geeks or even join a as a part of a good IT company and make some money. Know that not everyone is naturally talented with technology. So, if you are, you might as well use it wisely. Not knowing certain skills can also be disadvantageous, since ignorance is costly!
Widens Your Horizons
One of the impressive things about technology is that it increases your accessibility to anything and everything. For instance, if you skilled at web designing or graphic designing, instead of going to an IT company, you can also try to find or even create a job of your own. For instance, you can start working for an online IT support company who needs people to work, but cannot afford to accommodate them.
Make Cost Effective Purchases
Though many believe that purchasing online is very cheap, there are actually cheaper ways to purchase online. For instance, some online sites-without your knowledge- charge you a tax, when you pay from your credit card. Thus, using mediums such as PayPal are much cheaper. They also ensure online security as well.
Therefore, it is important you start acquiring as much technical skills as you can, since with the advancements in technology, it is becoming more of a necessity than a requirement.

|Surprisingly accurate representation of me this past week.
I can tell you that I woke up on Saturday with a terrible headache that wouldn't go away. I was also pretty weak and couldn't move too well without tiring myself out even more. I woke up on Sunday with less of a headache but with a runny nose. I woke up Monday with my nose in a worse state. Then on Tuesday I woke up feeling a little better and I've been recovering slowly ever since then. I'm also quite sure I had a fever I didn't really recognise because I wore a sweater for three days straight without taking it off, barely left my bed, but also never felt too warm. Needless to say I really needed a bath.
So I'm sorry to say that I didn't really get much writing done this week. Hopefully I'll be able to do more in the coming weeks to really make up for it and stick to the schedule.
On the plus side though I did a ton of reading.
Update: I'll give you full disclosure and say I wrote this on Wednesday. Yesterday I actually did manage to write two chapters of Immortal Space, putting me back on track. Though it was mostly exposition so I copied and pasted a lot of stuff. Not everything needs to be rewritten word for word in a second draft.

Think they're not related? Think again.
Allison Shields has an excellent post on her LegalEase blog called "Why Do Lawyers Leave the Law?" She describes a departed lawyer's frustrations as described in a article in New York Lawyer:
"I felt that something I'm really good at is turnaround time, and I did not feel there was any reward for that," she says. "The reward was more work. I didn't see how I could ever get to the point where I was so good at my job that I could manage it all. The point was the hours."
This is exactly the scenario Ron Baker describes as human cattle and not human capital. How can someone feel good about his or her professional career when one's day is more like a production line? Allison goes on to describe:
Under a billable hour system, this is exactly what happens: rather than being rewarded for being efficient (or, even better, effective) – which is what the client would most often prefer – many lawyers in a billable hour system are penalized for exactly the kind of work that clients want. Lawyers need to make their hours, so their alternatives are to either work slowly, inefficiently, and ineffectively, or to 'pad' their hours – unless they want to be passed over for advancement or compensation increases.
See her blog post for more excellent insights as well as a link to the original article. As an aside, several VeraSagers (Ron Baker, Paul Kennedy, Tim McKey and I) had the pleasure of meeting Allison in Kansas City in November. She's a great thinker and adds tremendously to the professions of consulting and law.

This July, Jody Houser, Pere Perez and Marguerite Sauvage will kick off "Faith's" first ongoing series at Valiant Entertainment. The character is hot off her recent four-issue miniseries, which sold out a total of five times.
"Faith" #1 will hit stores on July 20, boasting covers from acclaimed artists such as Kevin Wada, Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic, Cary Nord, Emanuela Lupacchino, Kano, Colleen Coover and series artist Pere Perez. "Faith Vol. 1: Hollywood and Vine" by Houser, Sauvage and Francis Portela — which collects the original limited series — will also bow in July.
For more on Valiant Entertainment's new "Faith" ongoing, stay tuned with CBR for an exclusive in-depth interview with Houser about the series.
"Since Faith's solo debut hit stands, no matter where we've turned — from conventions to comic shops to social media — fans all over the globe have called on Valiant to further Faith's adventures beyond four issues alone," said Valiant Editor-in-Chief Warren Simons. "Now that day has come, and we're proud to say that Faith's journey will continue in 2016 and beyond. Jody Houser, Francis Portela and Marguerite Sauvage did a masterful job introducing Faith to a whole new audience, and now we're glad to welcome Valiant-exclusive artist and extraordinarily talented storyteller Pere Perez to the Faith family for her first ongoing series — a benchmark achievement if there ever was one."
"Faith isn't just a superhero anymore. In a very short time, she's become a true pop culture phenomenon," said Valiant CEO & Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani. "Finally, the world is realizing what we at Valiant have known all along: that in a medium populated by characters that can often seem dark and cynical, Faith represents a ray of hope and optimism that resonates far beyond the printed page alone. She truly is a hero in every sense of the word and, at her core, she represents the best that superheroes and comics as a whole have to offer to the world."
According to the official series description,
In a city under siege by robots, aliens, monsters and, even worse, celebrities, there is only one woman the people of Los Angeles can count on: the stratospheric superhero called Faith! Aspiring reporter by day and dedicated crime-ï¬ghter by night, Faith has tackled every obstacle in her path with confidence — like those crushing deadlines at work, the long-distance boyfriend half a world away, and the missing back issues that plague her comics collection! But, unbeknownst to her, Faith is about to collide with the one force she never saw coming: an up-and-coming super-villain bent on snuffing her out once and for all! But who is lurking behind the mask of her new foe…and could they be the one person capable of rendering Faith powerless?

Why not try to book your next team building in Tree Top Adventure Subic, they offers the only motorized Team Building facilities in the Philippines in which participants would be challenged physically, mentally and even emotionally. That time we we're able to test their team building facilities and I was amazed of their motorized equipment which is also my first time to experienced and even their other activities are all new to me. Two of the activities that I've enjoyed the most are TEAM SEE-SAW, were your team should balance on both ends until the lights up and it is not only for a second but you have to maintain your balance for 10 seconds until you hear the sounds. The next one is Gem Catcher, were your team have to assigned a leader to facilitate and instruct each member who's going to release the rope or who's going to pull the rope to successful drop the metal shapes objects in each corresponding shape hole and once your team finished the task, you will hear a sounds and a lights will come out.

After your team building and if ever you're still want to experience the extreme adventure, why not try also Tree Top Adventure extreme activities. They have two slow paced and four fast paced activities. One slow paced activity is the Trekking adventure in which you'll be toured within the area. The tour guide will be introducing local plants and trees and share interesting facts about them. If one wants to see the forest and appreciate nature from the top of the trees, they could try the Canopy ride. The entire ride has a hanging bridge and five stations which can carry three persons at a time in which you'll be transferring from one tree to another. For heart pounding activities, one might want to try the Superman Ride, a horizontal motorized zipline in which you'll be soaring back and forth in less than a minute. Another activity you could try is the parachute fall in which you'll be going upwards, slowly, and when you're 75 feet above the ground, you'll suddenly fall. If you literally want to surf in the air, you could try the Silver Surfer, an inclined zipline that swings you back and forth between two trees. If you want to experience the extreme, we recommend you the Tree Drop in which you'll be suspended 60 feet above the ground, mission impossible style and you'll be dropped in a matter of seconds only.

MTR needs to boost security, and not just increase passengers' sense of security
By Yoyo Ho Hei-yu, King Ling College
I am writing in response to the article "Ban on sale of lighters in MTR stations from March 1, following Hong Kong firebomb attack" (SCMP, February 22).
On February 10, a 60-year-old man is believed to have used a lighter to start a blaze on an MTR train. Nineteen people were injured in the incident.
Many people say the MTR's decision to ban the sale of lighters inside the stations won't be effective. They say anybody who is planning to start a fire can buy a lighter outside and bring it into the station.
Their argument makes sense but I have a different view. I support the railway operator's move because it reduces the risk of another arson attack and makes people feel safer. The ban would make it harder for people to access lighters for violent purposes.
What's more, I think the MTR can strengthen security by telling its staff to keep an eye out for suspicious people.
I hope that the MTR will not introduce the system that's set up on the mainland, where people have to go through security clearance before entering a station.
Yoyo Ho Hei-yu, King Ling College
Hong Kong students want to spread their wings but schools are chopping them down
From the Editor
Thank you for your letter, Yoyo. The firebomb attack on the MTR was a shocking and horrifying incident. So it is natural that the MTR wants to "do something" to prevent such a thing happening again.
But as you quite rightly mentioned, banning lighters inside stations won't stop someone who is determined to carry out such an attack. All it does is give people a sense of safety and security.
We need to step back from the fear and horror we feel and think critically about the issue. It isn't as if we suffer these kinds of attacks every day, or even every month, or even every year. It was a "one off" instance.
As humans we try to make our lives as safe as possible, yet we face all sorts of dangers each day. Admittedly there are far fewer dangers in Hong Kong than there are in places like Syria, for instance. But things can and do go wrong and people get hurt or killed. Buses topple over, cars crash, people eat bad food, and so on. If we were to feel completely safe, we would never leave home, and even then, we run the risk of things catching fire and other "accidents".
It would be better to find the cause of the problem and treat it, rather than make hasty decisions just to ensure that the people feel better.

About CSS
Our History
The Computer Support Services group (CSS), began in the early days of the personal computer, around 1986. CSS was formed to help staff set up their new computers, and eventually, connect them to the campus network. The group started with two full-time staff members supporting only the staff on campus. Eventually the group expanded to five staff members to meet the growing needs of the staff on campus and the ever-changing computer industry. A "help desk" phone line was established to handle the increasing calls for help, then in the late 1990's a work order ticketing system was installed to log and track calls from campus users.
Now the group supports both staff and faculty on both Windows and Apple systems, as well as assisting with Windows and Apple servers and handheld devices such as SmartPhones and Tablets. The focus of CSG is to provide the most timely, best possible service to faculty and staff, with the ultimate goal of enhancing UCR's teaching and research missions. By assisting faculty and staff in the use and maintenance of their computer hardware and software, we can invigorate the University's instructional dynamic.
Our Manager
Phyllis Franco
Phyllis started with the group in 1994 as a Windows analyst and became manager of the group in 1999. Before joining CSS, she worked with IBM, Wang Laboratories, and Valley Health Systems in the IT field. She has over 30 years experience in the computing field and has a BA in Business and MBA in Marketing.
In addition to her CSS managerial duties, Phyllis also manages the Student Computing Services group who are responsible for the technology support for the students and the student computer labs located throughout campus. In 2014, three Faculty support technicians were added to her team, two are under the CHASS umbrella and one under CNAS. These three positions support only faculty in these colleges but report to Phyllis. Other duties are managing the accounts on the campus's O365 system, an Author and Publisher for the R'Space/R'Web systems, working with the HUB and the laptop and cable checkout programs there, managing an iPad checkout program for instruction and assisting departments with Multi-factor Authentication. Phyllis is an avid bicyclist and enjoys traveling all over the world, she also serves on the Board of the UCR Botanical Gardens.
Our Technicians
Ed Birnbaum
Ed has been a PC technician for over twenty-five years, and has worked with CSS since 1998. Ed started in the day of 8" floppy disks, tape reels, and mainframe hard drives that had to be brought in on a hand truck because they were so heavy, and when MS-DOS 2.x was the newest thing in the IBM/PC world. Ed finds that although many things have changed, some haven't. PC's and software applications still need to be serviced and repaired.
Ed primarily supports Windows workstations, Windows servers (at the moment he administers 15 Windows servers simultaneously), and generally any non-Mac computer. Ed also works with any printer or just about any peripheral. Ed can answer an easy Mac question "on a good day." He has setup user, group, and departmental backup systems and servers for numerous clients on campus. Ed believes that "just about any computer problem can be fixed given sufficient time."
Claudio Escobedo
Claudio Escobedo joined CSS in September, 2007, having previously worked in the IT departments at the Bally Total Fitness Corporate Office and at Cal Poly Pomona. Claudio graduated with a degree in Business from CSU Long Beach with an emphasis on Management Information Systems.
Claudio has supported Windows computers since Windows 2000, and has also supported Mac OS X for more than six years, so he can handle both PC and Mac questions as well as Windows smartphones. Claudio enjoys meeting new people and is always willing to help.
Jacobus "Bart" Kats
Bart has been working with CSS since Fall of 1994, before which he worked at University Extension and the Statewide Air Pollution Research Center on campus. Bart has also worked for the US Forest Service Fire Research Lab and the Ames-Dryden NASA facility at Edwards Air Force Base. Bart graduated with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Cal Poly Pomona. Bart has some proficiency in Dutch, Japanese, and Portuguese, and has interests ranging from cars to gardening to gadgets.
Bart works almost exclusively on Macintosh computers and servers, and has done so since 1989; he has supported System 6 through the latest versions of OS X. In the early '90s Bart was responsible for multiple PC labs and Novell servers, but has always preferred the Mac. In addition to Mac OS configuration and troubleshooting, Bart has significant experience with Filemaker database systems.
Phillip Roach
Phillip has been working with CSS as the CNAS Faculty support technician for the last two years. However, Phill has been working in IT for more than 15 years. Phillip has a wide array of skill sets, he works on Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems and is also well versed in networking and application and database development.

Now that the dust has settled on the Emmys, Gold Derby Editors Matt Noble, Charles Bright and Ralph Galvan joined me for one last slugfest to wrap things up in a neat little bow. Watch below as we dish the highlights and lowlights of this awardsfest and preview the upcoming Golden Globe and SAG Awards and even next year's Emmys.
It is never too early to dish the Golden Globes and SAG Awards
Join the red-hot debate in our fiery forums right now
We all agreed that many of the night's big winners, like five-time Best Comedy Series champ "Modern Family" and repeat Best Drama Series winner "Breaking Bad" were no-brainers.
But there was much to discuss including those crazy, "where did that come from" surprises in the movie and miniseries categories such as when mortal lock Matt Bomer ("The Normal Heart") was skunked out of a trophy by Martin Freeman ("Sherlock: His Last Vow"). Indeed, that PBS import of the Brit hit wiped the floor with its more fancied Stateside competition, winning a leading seven Emmys in all.
As for the kudocast, we would have liked to have seen more time spent on the nominees rather than wastinged on a silly and unnecessary Weird Al Yankovic musical number. And we wondered why the Emmys played it so safe. "It's very bizarre when you think about the night before with the VMAs where you have Taylor Swift and Beyonce and Nicki Minaj performing these big musical numbers that are so buzzed, and the next night the Emmys wheel out Weird Al Yankovic" Noble laughed. "He's a lot of things, but fresh is not one of them."
5 lessons from this year's Emmys
Some of us also hated how the show made such a spectacle over the big-name movie stars in the room, which rang completely false after the winners were announced and all of them lost out to TV folk.
We did find time to stop complaining and focus on some true highlights from the show itself, like watching Julia Louis-Dreyfus make out with Bryan Cranston. And we spent some time discussing whether the almost complete shutout of "The Normal Heart" meant that "Hollywood hates gays".
We even looked ahead to the upcoming Golden Globe and SAG Awards and next year's Emmys, spitballing about who and what might be in the running in an open Drama Series field, and which show is poised to take down "Modern Family" before it becomes the all-time Best Comedy Seires victor with six consecutive wins in that category.

While browsing through some of fellow travelers blogs, I stumbled upon the place called Kolli hills, a hill station nestled in the Eastern Ghats located in the Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu about 300kms from Bangalore.
(a hairpin bend view)
Itching to venture out somewhere and had to test the Xylo for its ride and comfort, raja agreed to come along with his wife and nag pitched in too and as always guru ditched us at the last moment choosing not to come. Another aspect that lured me to plan a trip here were the inviting 70 hairpin bends to negotiate, a driver's delight in store!
The NH7 was as good as it could get with constructions and repairs in patches till Krishnagiri and from there its a cruise and after visiting a couple of temples at the small town of Namakkal, we drove towards Kolli hills or Kolli malai as its known as.
Route: Bengaluru-Hosur-Krishnagiri-Dharmapuri-Salem-Namakkal-Senthamangalam-Karavalli-Kolli hills
(Namakkal can be completely avoided as there is a diversion before Namakkal towards Senthamangalam-Karavalli). Ask for directions from the locals as its a little tricky and most of the sign boards are in Tamil language.
Good time to visit Kolli hills would be during the months of November-December when there are rains due to the North East monsoon and the hills is resplendent in a cover of green all around.
(view from the viewpoint from the highest point in the botanical garden)
Kolli hills is not as famous as other hill stations in Tamil Nadu and is famous for its herbal plants that are found in the mountain range and hence known as Herbal mountain. But what I saw in and around Kolli hills made me think it more as an garbage mountain, read this post here. Also, the weather was cooler on the top and remains pleasant throughout they year drawing lot of local tourists mainly for a weekend party or a drive to this place.
(another view from Sekuparai viewpoint)
Negotiating the 70 hairpin bends was a real treat with some wonderful valley views in spite of the mid-day heat, we took umpteen number of breaks to savor the beauty. But you need to drive with caution as some hairpin bends are narrow and the trucks, minivans just appear out of nowhere in full speed and the road is bad in patches.
We stayed at 'Nallathambi Resorts', a decent place worth the money and supposedly the best of the lot, and incidentally we enjoyed the food served. Here again, note there are hardly any eateries out of your resort and the best option would be to have it from the place you stay.
(view from Sekuparai viewpoint)
Places worth a visit when staying at Kolli hills:-
> We visited the lake (where raja and wife went on a paddle boat ride),
> the viewpoint in the botanical garden / park (got excellent views from here),
> Sekuparai viewpoint (again for some wonderful sun setting vistas)
> Akash gangai falls (need to get down the steep steps and climbing up was a herculean task), and the
(roughly 100 steps to climb down, climbing up was very tiring and exhausting)
Akash Ganga falls
> Arappaleshwar temple (the famous temple) over the one and a half days we stayed.
> We missed the Masila falls due to lack of time.
(as the sun goes down...)
(out of sight into oblivion...)
(the moon comes out in full glow!)
Overall to say, Kolli hills has the potential to be an excellent weekend getaway location if managed and maintained properly, else it's another disaster waiting to happen!

The day I first received a set of chalk markers I was excited. The truth was I didn't know the difference between a chalk marker or a regular marker. I took the cap off and was disappointed when they didn't "work". I put them over and never messed with them.
As time went on I started hearing about chalk markers. I wondered why people was interested in them. After some investigation I learned the correct way to use a chalk marker.
While I now own different colors and different brands, I find each one different. The colors are different, the size tips. The look and the feel of each one. More importantly though, I learned the correct way to use them.
First off they won't work on paper or other non porous item – this means anything not permeable to water, air, or other fluids. There is companies that sell labels that these work perfect on. This makes a wonderful way to organize and it is kind of fancy too.
The main ways people use them is on glass such as mirrors, plastic, metal, glossy boards, LED boards. You can even use them on car windows. EXAMPLE: Just married, For Sale or Visit SHOPPINGWIVES.COM.
As with anything you may want to test a small spot before using a chalk marker to make sure that item really is non porous.
This box I have been using is from Stardom Crafts. There is 18 – yes, 18 markers in this box. These are fluorescent – true to their color- non toxic chalk markers. They also have reversible tips. It can be a chisel point tip or a bullet point tip. You can remove it and flip it around for two types of print styles!
Now back to just taking the cap off. That isn't the way these work, but they are simple to use.
1. With the cap still on the marker, shake it.
2. Take off cap and push it on a piece of paper, this can take up to a minute before you see the ink coming out
3. Use the marker! (that's the fun part)
4. Replace cap on marker when done using it.
The Stardom markers have been a lot of fun to own and I will continue using them.
disclaimer: I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review..
A perfect gift for any child…

MAPUTO, Mozambique – A veteran Mozambican journalist, known for his crime reporting, was gunned down on the streets of the capital.
Mozambican police said Saturday that they are trying to trace Paulo Machava's assassins. Machava was shot on Friday, while on his morning jog in Maputo.
A private security guard found Machava's body lying in a pool of blood. He said he heard four gunshots before seeing young men drive away.
Machava once hosted a radio show covering crime on the state-run Radio Mozambique. He then reported for a weekly newspaper, covering the assassination of well-known journalist Carlos Cardoso in 2000. He was the founder and editor of a news website at the time of his death.
Journalists and rights groups condemned Machava's killing, saying it has created a climate of fear.

Downy brings Hispanic tradition to Houston
HOUSTON Procter & Gamble's Downy brand has brought a popular Hispanic traditional activity to the Children's Museum of Houston.
In partnership with the museum, Downy is bringing to life the Whimsical World of Sheet Castle display. The fabric sheet castles, which help put children's imaginations at play, are made with Downy dryer sheets and feature the brand's newest scent, Ultra Downy sun blossom.
"For generations, sheet castles have transported families to faraway lands in the living rooms of our homes. These make-believe castles have provided a soft, comforting retreat thanks to creativity and the never-ending imagination of children," said Mary Pochobradsky, marketing director at Downy. "The sheet castle display in Houston celebrates the magic that fabric has brought to generations, while at the same time evoking a comforting dreamland with the fresh scent of Downy."
The sheet castle display presented by Downy will be open on Tuesday, Nov. 2, and it will close on Sunday, Nov. 21.
Study questions accuracy of health info shared through social media
WOONSOCKET, R.I. A recent study of diabetes information shared on Facebook raised questions about the accuracy of the information on social media sites and its sources, according to the research sponsored by CVS Caremark.
Harvard University and Brigham and Women's Hospital conducted the survey as part of CVS Caremark's previously announced three-year collaboration with the researchers. Researchers evaluated 690 individual postings on wall pages and discussion boards written by 480 unique users. The 15 diabetes-related Facebook sites had an average of 9,289 participants.
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to analyze in detail the quality of the information that people with diabetes are sharing with each other through Facebook," stated William Shrank, senior author of the study. "There are certainly public health benefits that can be garnered from these sites — but patients and doctors need to know it is really the Wild West out there."
The researchers found "tentative support" for the health benefits of social media in the management of chronic disease — evidence of patients sharing valuable insights into their conditions not typically available through traditional medical channels, as well as evidence of community-building where emotional support is abundant. However, 1-in-4 comments on these sites were promotional in nature, generally for non-FDA-approved products.
The researchers also identified numerous incidences of surveys, marketing pitches and efforts to recruit patients for clinical trials where the true identity of the poster could not be confirmed. The results of the study were published online in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
Additional findings include:
- Amajority of posts (66%) are individuals describing their personal experiences with managing diabetes;
- Nearly one-quarter of the posts (24%) represent sharing of personal information that is unlikely to be shared between patient and doctors, such as individuals discussing carbohydrate management in the setting of alcohol consumption;
- Twenty-nine percent of the posts are by diabetic patients providing emotional support to others grappling with aspects of the disease;
- Thirteen percent of the posts are providing specific feedback to information requests by others in the diabetic community; and
- Twenty-seven percent of the posts feature promotional activity and first-person testimonials around non-FDA-approved products and services.
"Social media is an evolving forum that clearly is attractive to people looking to share information and to find support and strategies for living with chronic diseases," stated Troyen Brennan, EVP and chief medical officer of CVS Caremark. "This study shows the many ways that patients are benefiting from social media networks but is critically important for patients to understand the need for fact-checking."
Amgen R&D chief testifies at FDA biosimilar hearing
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. Amgen's SVP research and development, Joe Miletich, urged members of a Food and Drug Administration panel to establish approval standards for biosimilars that ensure patient safety and follow a science-based approach.
"Put patients first and sound policy will follow," Miletich said. "Amgen believes biosimilars have a meaningful role to play in the healthcare system. However, dissimilar — unlike generic drugs — are not identical to the innovative biological products."
In his testimony, Miletich outlined three key recommendations:
- Use well-designed clinical trials to establish biosimilarity;
- Ensure the product manufacturer and lot number is known for all administered biological; and
- Set scientific and practical criteria for interchangeability.
"The challenge with biosimilars is knowing which structural variations matter clinically and which do not. Many differences probably do not matter, while some differences are important," Miletich said. "Minor changes in structure, formulation or impurities can have a significant impact on patients that cannot always be anticipated with analytical studies."
In a company statement, Amgen noted that the experience with biosimilar applications in Europe demonstrated the need for clinical trials. "Approximately half of the biosimilars developed in Europe have had unexpected clinical outcomes at some point in their development. Clinical trials are an essential step in evaluating differences between medicines that analytical and pre-clinical studies indicate are similar. Equally important, we must ensure accountability through accurate tracking and tracing of all biological products," the company stated.

Hello bookworms! Today I'm doing my first (I think it's my first??) book tag! I know this one's a bit older and most people have done it already, but I feel like I have some unique opinions and really wanted to try it myself. Hopefully this won't be boring for you guys!
I wasn't actually tagged to do this, but I saw it most recently done by Book Princess Reviews, and loved it! So I took the liberty of just doing it myself, lol.
Here we go! You can click on the photos of each book to see their Goodreads page.

Thank you for visiting my 2017 Promise Walk for Preeclampsia fundraising page.
Nick and I got pregnant with our son, Ben, in 2014. We were delighted and nervous! We knew pregnancy and parenthood would be a challenge, but we faced additional complications. With a history of hypertension, I was already presenting with a 50% risk of developing preeclampsia during my pregnancy. Despite a close watch and lots of labetalol, I presented with preeclampsia symptoms and was hospitalized on March 18, 2015. I was only 32 weeks.
Ben was born on March 20 at 11:50pm by urgent c-section, 7 hours before the planned c-section. He was only 3 pounds, 1 ounce, but perfect. We were lucky. We were watching and waiting for this illness, and we knew what to look for. But other families aren't so lucky.
I tell my story at pressurestory.com, a blog and resource for preeclampsia and maternal mental health. But this is about the mamas, babies, and families who need the help I already had.
I am grateful for your donations and for your help in spreading the word about preeclampsia. My goal is to help our community raise funds and awareness and save the lives of moms and babies!
Please make a donation to support our efforts to fund education and research into this life-threatening disorder of pregnancy.
The Preeclampsia Foundation would like to thank its generous National Sponsors:

Imagine it, you spend almost $1000 to take a ferry, then drive for hundreds of miles to attend a workshop you booked and paid for online at a well-known eco institute. The irony of the petrol use is not lost on you, but it is a cause you really believe in with information that could benefit you and many others.
From the start it was a bit of a Micky Mouse outfit: questions about accommodation options via email and phone messages did not get answered until a couple of follow up emails were sent; the 10% members' discount code (members pay an annual fee to support the work of the institute) was not working, so a promise was made that the 10% would be returned to the credit card used to make the purchase. This took quite a bit of follow up and reminding before it happened. Can you see where this is heading?
There was no reason for this to have ended as disastrously as it did. The online shop seemed to work efficiently, and newsletters were emailed, I think using world-renowned automation system Infusionsoft, which does not come cheap but is a learning curve all of its own.
But the website was not fully utilised as a means of contact or information dispersal. Fair enough that they chose to not use Twitter or Facebook, to build some kind of online community and information sharing place – social media is not everyone's cup of tea. But since they were using a website to solicit paying customers, they should at least have used their website to serve them.
However the web page which advertised the particular workshop got taken down when no longer needed; it could have remained live, even retrospectively, to use client testimonials and images from the event. And more importantly, it could have been used to notify participants of a cancellation. It could have had a message on it, such as CHECK BACK HERE IN CASE THERE IS A WEATHER-RELATED CANCELLATION OF THIS EVENT.
So, you guessed it, after travelling hundreds of miles over a couple of days, the event was cancelled without notifying all the participants. Apparently the office lady only works part-time and the cancellation was decided two days before the event and before a major public holiday! So an email the day before (the day after they had decided to cancel) checking that it was still going ahead, remained unanswered because the office lady had not been into work to see it. So, imagine it – with the help of google maps (instructions on how to get there could also have been useful on the website), you arrive in the middle of unknown rural nowhere just after nightfall to complete darkness. By some coincidence, a couple had arrived just before you, they had been knocking on the door of a house on the property which remained unanswered, until a lit up window around the back was discovered and a young man stumbled to the door, who seemed to not know a thing about anything.
The couple you met are not fellow workshop participants, but new volunteers who had been to this place before and know to trudge across paddocks of long grass and mud by the tiny lights of your cellphones to find the guy in charge of accommodation. You tell him you are here for the workshop and he actually laughs. He laughs! Apparently you were notified of the cancellation but this did not happen by email (yes, also checked the spam folder) or cellphone. Perhaps the notification was sent by snail mail, in which case you will receive it when you return home.
Close to tears because of the effort and expense it took to get here, and fear, of the drive back to the nearest city (almost two hours away on a dark, winding, unfamiliar road) knowing it is a public holiday weekend and accommodation is scarce, you make the trek back, only to find you will have to sleep in your car as everything is booked out.
I guess it is lucky for them that they do not use Facebook and Twitter – it would be filled with complaints about them. On the other hand it could also have been used in the build up to the event, to discuss accommodation options, how to get there, what to expect, and of course, let everyone know if unforeseen events cause a cancellation.
It is lucky for you and I, that we have an insight into their business and how NOT to use the internet to run a business.
So if you are privileged enough to reach the paying public with a website, what responsibilities come with that?
Firstly, you must be able to be contacted, and people expect responses to happen within 24 hours, if not within an hour. Being based in the wop wops and wanting to live an off-the-grid lifestyle is no excuse. If you are using this fandangled modern technology to earn money, you have to go all the way and be reachable. Otherwise your online venture is as good as an online scam, and that is a terrible thing to have associated with your brand.
Secondly, if you call on the public to support you financially and there are a list of benefits, like discount codes etc, then those codes should work without having to chase them up. Yes, it is nice for people to support a cause without any reciprocation, and many people will be happy to do that, but whatever you offer should be given willingly. To have to follow up on member benefits makes them appear to be offered begrudgingly which could undo years of goodwill.
Thirdly, if you are counting on volunteers to do your internet work like managing your responses and process your business transactions, you have to find some who are dedicated enough to actually do it when it occurs, not just when it suits them or during business hours. In fact, caring for the reputation of your institute is such a big ask, that it is probably worth paying someone to do it and having the importance of responding to customers as an essential task.
The institute involved is unlikely to ever read this, it will not be brought to their attention by us and we have chosen not to name them. They seemed to have such confidence about them as they basked in the love of their transient eco-volunteers, that the experience or feedback of their paying customers was not an essential element of their cause, however it is a worthwhile lesson for anyone else who wishes to make the World Wide Web a sweet place not just for themselves as business owners, but for their paying customers.
Word of mouth happens in a nanosecond online. We really can not be this casual with an online reputation as most are more than happy to "name and shame" as they share experiences like the one above, which everyone agrees, is simply unacceptable and a terrible look for a brand, or in this case, a really important cause.
Follow up – the institute in question refunded the full content of the course and the office person left a phone message and sent an email apologising profusely. The owner of the business also emailed offering a free place on a similar course if it ever happens in a region only 2 hours away. After replying, nothing more was heard from them and word of the course has yet to materialise. Obviously, this is not compensation for the money or time or effort spent getting to the first course, but these gestures help a lot.
If you have any ideas for other ways they could have improved matters, please comment below.

Twilight books by Stephanie Meyer
have become something of a cult to teenagers girls around the world when they were made into films. Brit Robert Patterson becoming Edward Cullen and millions of teenage girls dreaming he would sink his fangs into their necksThe books female protagonist is passive meekling Bella Swan portrayed by Kirsten Stewart.
Stephanie Meyer's creation has inspired another passive meekling Anastasia Steel who is the S&M adult version of Bella in more than one way. Today, Times newspaper journalist Katie Muir declared Bella Swan a ''feminist icon''. Katie perhaps saw another Bella Swan.
As the Bella Swan portrayed by Kristen Stewart is someone who is weak with no identity of her own and she constantly overpowered by men. Bella has been weak character throughout the Twilight films, she is the fragile women who is selfish and is overpowered by men.
Until at last when she gains some strength. Bella is far from being a feminist icon she is a setback to feminist and women who are fighting for equal rights. Twilight is a fiction, but the character of Bella Swan is one of the worst females in literature in 21st century and her offsprings in Mummy porn.Now if you are looking to hail fictional characters a feminist icons then Hemione Granger
and Katniss Everdeen are another story, they can be called feminist icons for young girls.

Katie Miur got it wrong declaring Bella Swan a feminist Icon

If Bella Swan is a feminist icon then so is Todd Akin. Then again I am not surprised as Katie Muir works for right wing newspaper and her views on feminism is appalling considering the fact that ''feminist'' Caitlin Moran works with her.ReplyDelete

Friday morning, Federal District Court Judge Carl Barbier categorically rejected BP's frivolous arguments seeking to enjoin Patrick Juneau, Deepwater Horizon Claims Administrator, from properly carrying out his duties. Judge Barbier presided over a hearing on the merits of BP's requested injunction, deciding that the oil giant failed in all respects to make the showing required to grant an emergency injunction. Judge Barbier also dismissed a separate lawsuit filed by BP against Juneau on similar grounds, calling BP's duplicitous legal maneuvering a "belt and suspenders" tactic.
While polite, Barbier frequently interrupted BP lead counsel Rick Godfrey's presentation, clearly showing his honor's growing frustration with BP's groundless machinations in what was supposed to be a non-contentious settlement of the class action lawsuit resulting from the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP has already appealed Barbier's order affirming the claims administrator's interpretation of the agreement to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. However, most observers believe the company will find little sympathy from that body.
While BP likely realizes its goose is cooked on this issue, the company is no doubt succeeding in scaring off otherwise legitimate claimants. By alleging such filings to be "fictitious," "absurd," or even "fraudulent," the company is attempting to shame claimants into submission. As characterized in court Friday by one of the attorneys representing tens of thousands of plaintiffs, "BP's actions are disingenuous and quite frankly, insulting."
Meanwhile, a petition is being circulated at change.org/BrokenPromise to attempt to bring the market to bear on BP by making the company pay a reputational cost for breaking its promise to Gulf Coast businesses. We believe that only a victory in a court-of-law, as well as in the court-of-public-opinion, will put a stop to BP's shameful behavior.
As a plaintiff attorney, Tom Young has been at the forefront of some of the Nation's worst disasters. In 2015, he was judicially appointed to represent over 200,000 plaintiffs in an allocation proceeding involving a $1.24 billion settlement with Deepwater Horizon contractor Halliburton and rig owner Transocean. Currently, he's focused on representing numerous communities across the country that have been ravaged by the opioid epidemic and are now seeking damages from drug manufacturers and distributors.

My calendar icon in dock was updated only after restart. If I didn't do restart it showed the date of the last restart. It was really annoying. I couldn't find out anyone with the same problem since Mavericks. I just hopped it's some software issue and in Yosemite it wouldn't happen. I was wrong ) After update the icon problem continue happen. I couldn't get to use the date in menu bar so icon continued annoy me ) I guess it's some hardware issue, but I'm not sure. Any way I couldn't find the same problem in web. So I dissuaded to find out the way to update the icon without restart. Actually just a simple dock restart helps fine. You don't need to clear cash or something. To do auto restart each day run the following commands from root. Enjoy )
